"Some OF the biggest 'squids' or devil
fish that have ever ben caught" said an
old sailor, ''have been found around
West India Islands in the Gulf of Mexico
and Caribbean Sea- was first mate on
little chunk of sugar drougher, as the
vessels in that trade are called, and was
boand from New York to Jamaica.
There was fever at the time, so we laid
otf in the roads and the bark was loaded
by coolies with lighters. AS we could
not go ashore, we rigged sails in the
long boat and used to cruise around
through the little islands hunting for
tirtles and eggs. One day we towed
the dingy behind the long boat, intend
ing to split the party at one of the
islands. WheE we reached the big ISL
and, we separated, part staying on the
island and some of the men taking the
two boats and going to other islands. /
and two men stayed OH DEVILS Rock and
hunted around for whatever we could
find. About 100 yards off was small
rock, where the dingy and her crews had
gone. We could see the boat tied up
and the men loafing around the island.
We got tired and sang out to them to
come over and get US. They started
to the boat and pushed her of,
wading out little way to keep clear of
the rocks just covered at high tide. All
of q sudden one of them uttered a fear
full scream, and something blueish rose
out of the water and encircled his body
and neck. He drew his knife and
slashed at it, when another arm arose.
1t was 'squid. The other fellow was
nearer the shore and was just stepping
out of the water. when two long feelers
wriggled up and around his legs, and in
another minute he. too, was being drawn
under the water. Their shrieks and cries
were pitifu, but we could do nothing.
We had no boat and the other party were
not in sight. The men fought bravely,
but to no end. What could they do
against fifty arms, from ten to twenty
feet long, each with a grasp of steel.
Slowly but surely they were first crushed
to death and then dragged down. Their
fighting seemed TO have maddened the
creature, for shortly after the men dis
appeared the long blue arms wound
themselves around the little boat and
crushed it as you would nutshell be-
ween your fingers The horror we felt
at the bare sight of the poor fellows
agony nearly drove one of the men crazy
who was with me. When the long boat
came back we reported the matter. but
after that we were never allowed to go
over to the islands. Several times we
hunted for the devil fish with guns and
harpoons, but he was never seen again
by any of our crew. Chicago Herald.
